It didn't take long for Mark Jackson to question Zion's weight.
Zion Williams finally made his NBA regular-season debut on Wednesday night and it didn’t take long for ESPN’s Mark Jackson to question the size of Williamson’s body.
In fact, it happened under four minutes into the game.
Williamson has been out all season with a right knee injury. He started against the San Antonio Spurs in his debut and is expected to play short bursts of time as he works his way into the lineup.
He was subbed out before the 4-mintue mark and Jackson, who is easily one of the most dreadful announcers calling NBA games these days, questioned his weight and said he needed to drop some pounds. ESPN even showed a wild graphic about Zion’s weight:
WOW. @espn really posted Zion’s weight like it’s a stat…..

Jackson also said he’d take Ja Morant over Williamson in the draft if they could re-do it all over again.
This was after just 4 MINUTES OF PLAYING TIME FOR ZION.
Fans rightly ripped Jackson, as well as Jeff Van Gundy, who added to the miserableness of this broadcast:
5 minutes in, Mark Jackson & Jeff Van Gundy are already sucking the fun out of #ZionDay
